Strong Verbs Are Just Better

Well. Random resume-dropping is soul-destroying... except when you walk into Swanky Restuarant Number Three with your best job-hunting smile and say "Hi, my name's Highly, I was wondering if you need extra staff over summer"and rather than the usual take-resume-notice-you-have-no-experience-face-smile-we'll-call-you routine, they go "yeah, sure!" and pull out the tax forms.

So, I am Highlyeccentric, embarking on a career in waitressing. Which is cool. Swanky Restaurant Number Three have a very good reputation (due to being one of the few Swanky Restaurants in town); they didn't balk at lack of table-service experience or lack of bar experience, instead enthusing about their supportive training program; and they have uniforms. They handed over the tax forms at once, so it can be assumed that they do things by the book.

Only downside is that it's 5-6 shifts a week, which will make trips to Sydney difficult to schedule. But, y'know, price you pay. I really, really wasn't expecting any of the Swanky Restaurants to even look twice at me. Today, I am a happy Highly.
